Meaning & origin
Armond is a name of Germanic origin that has appeared in American records since 1887, when it reached its peak rank of 5,208. While it has never been common, its usage has steadily fallen over the decades, with a significant decline since 2000. The name is essentially a variant of Herman or Armand, and it has been borne by a small but persistent number of families. Despite its rarity, Armond retains a classic, sturdy feel, making it a distinctive choice for those seeking a name with historical depth. In the most recent data from 2025, it was given to roughly 1 in 95,000 newborn boys, placing it far outside the top 1,000.
Armond is thought to be a variant of Herman, from the Old High German 'heri' (army) and 'man' (man), or alternatively a form of Armand, which derives from the Germanic elements 'arn' (eagle) and 'munt' (protection). It entered English usage in the late 19th century, often as an anglicized spelling of the French Armand.
